Someone has rightly said, “It is the memories that stay with
us”. But we seldom realize this.
Have you ever seen someone’s belongings flying into the air
during their funeral or the soul coming back to earth to take back their possessions??
NEVER!!! Right?
Because it is only the memories that go with us and not our
favorite dress, wardrobe, furniture or handbags!!! Then why do we get so caught
up in the web of materialism?
It’s high time we realize this because once you go “UP”,
there’s no way “DOWN”. J
In today’s world where money is everything, I have seen
people go on a shopping-spree!!! Getting the house painted every 2 months, changing
its interiors, buying unlimited clothes, furniture, accessories and what not…
just because they have lots of money…!!!
So what? So what if you have lots of money??? Are you going
to take it along when you die???
Instead of behaving like maniacs & shelling out so much
money on such possessions, if they had purchased a new dress and gifted it to
an orphan or a poor little girl, had that not been a sweet memory?
Instead of eating loads of junk food, gaining weight and
then buying “Nike” shoes to jog, if they sponsored a meal for the man who hasn’t
eaten anything for days together, won’t that be a memory worth remembering?
Don’t you agree with me?
I am not saying, “Don’t have fun!”
I am only saying, “Don’t get caught up in materialism”.
Given this, I will prefer spending my last days doing
things that will bring a smile on someone’s face, visit places I couldn’t in my
lifetime and last but not the least, click lots of pictures & leave
behind memories for others to remember. JJ
What’s your plan?
Cool blog srish! My opinion is money is not the issue, but rather selfishness. Having lot's of money doesn't make you selfish. Are there lot's of rich selfish people? of course! Just like there are lot's of poor and middle class selfish people.
